My Surgeries

Have you ever had surgery? What for?

I have been fortunate to only have needed three surgeries in my life. I had a tonsillectomy and an appendectomy as a child and a hernia surgery as an adult. The results of the first two were less than stellar. I’m told tonsils help prevent sinus and esophageal problems. I’ve got both now. My appendix was in the wrong place so the doctor made a huge incision to do exploratory surgery and the resulting scar is large and uncomfortable. The hernia surgery went smoothly and I don’t have any complaints about it. I was also circumcised. I considered that unnecessary surgery.
